Chelsea boss Graham Potter has praised Mason Mount for the way he has conducted himself through a tough period in his career at Stamford Bridge. The midfielder has been an ever-present player since breaking into the first-team, but a mixture of injuries and form have seen him drop out of the side.
With Mount available for selection again this weekend when the Blues face Aston Villa, Potter has been full of praise for the 24-year-old. He said in his pre-match press conference: "I think it's been tough for him because he's had some niggling injury and speculation off the pitch.
"He's a professional and a top professional and he's a fantastic lad. How he's acted with me, with the team, how he's acted around us has been absolutely top. I think that's credit to him because sometimes in your career things are difficult, not quite optimal how you'd like them to be and you have to act well and conduct yourself in a good way and that's exactly what he's done."
